The message of Divine Mercy is a powerful and moving way to come closer to Christ. His Mercy is central to our lives and we must continually depend on it and ask for it daily. The Spiritual Life Committee invites you to join us as we recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

"The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth," - Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

On Wednesday, March 7th, several SJTB parishioners gathered to organize and deliver the items donated for the CHS student food pantry. CHS administration and staff were amazed at the abundance and variety of items collected. So much so, that staff had to find additional storage room for the donations collected. Thanks to all for their generous donations and also to those who helped load and deliver the items. Click the article title to see pictures of the delivery event.
